Thanks for making your point, I appreciate it. They are amazing.

Thanks!  I haven’t ever had the pleasure of having my parentage questioned or cursed here in the comments.  I feel so welcome.

You should follow the Parkland students on Twitter. They are the future. Smart and cutting. Loving and savage.

The original lawyers should be notifying their malpractice insurance. It’s complete negligence on the part of the attorneys, and the family should be made whole by their insurance carrier. It is also a terrible optic that the lead counsel on the case couldn’t get their shit together and timely request materials or…

And she wore it again, on the ride back to the White House.  She is doing some master-level trolling.  And the words of her spokesperson are very precise:  this is not a “covert message” - it’s totally overt.  Can’t miss it.

So everyone got a trophy. How very 90's.

That won’t be possible. This woman is lapping up all the attention about her now. Regardless of what the finished product looks like, she will always claim it as her own life story. And Shonda is now glorifying a grifter. There are better stories out there, Shonda!

Can we just say that all the interest is because she is a cute blond woman? If she were another race, she’d not even be in the news.

Here is a video that shows a father and son approaching a port of entry to try to claim asylum. They are refused until a reporter points out that they are actually standing inside the US line and can’t be rejected.

As a gay person, what I’m hearing is that I may still be able to get married in most states, but I can’t find anyone to bake my cake in some of them. Just wait till people claim that their religion discriminates against other races. That’s next.

It’s wryly amusing to see Republicans pass legislation crushing teachers at every turn, complain when teachers push back. Yes, you can consider that they are throwing a temper tantrum, or you can acknowledge that they are grown professionals who you are (probably) hoping will carry a gun to shoot intruders and then go…

I am kidding - mostly. CP Pomona holds its own but is not a “nice” place to live or go to school. As someone said downthread, “Pomona is the armpit of America”. I advised my own son against applying to CP Pomona because he would not have been happy living in that area.

And Weird Al graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a degree in architecture.

Only weird if you don’t have a connection to one or other of the schools. When “Cal Poly” is mentioned, it is usually in connection with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Pomona has less visibility (for example, Cal Poly SLO’s architecture program is usually number 1 or 2 nationally, and Cal Poly Pomona is ranked anywhere…

While it might be logical (and he may do that anway), the schools he has been accepted to do not allow a gap year. Only private schools allow the gap year; state schools would require a person to reapply if they decline admittance and decide to wait. My son is currently a student at Cal Poly (although which Cal Poly…

Lawyers too. God help us, egotistical lawyers who think they are god, too, and have the best looking dicks ever, and are anxious to show off.

Right after the election horror we had a rat in our house. Our solution (after getting rid of the rat) was to adopt a cat. Two ginger tabby brothers, bonded, were the best therapy we could ever have. Those bellies sure are sweet! And red cats seem to have great dispositions.

the issue was brought to a boiling point by Ms. Mallory’s description of Farrakhan as a GOAT - greatest of all time. That is some heapin’ of praise to shovel out to someone whose views don’t match with your own.

The children in Transparent were so vile that I stopped watching 2 episodes into Season 2. No way was I wasting any more time on those idiots. And that was before Jeffrey Tambor was outed as a sexual harasser.

The quad is in his regular individual program. He wanted to skate a clean program and was actually not properly marked for his artistic elements. Did you hear Tara and Johnny go off about that afterwards? The two who fell during their programs did quads but looked quite clumsy in comparison. Adam was fluid and…
